Map shows Ohio State is dominating Oregon in Facebook chatter

Facebook has been analyzing all of the college football talk on the social network since Jan. 1, using all that data to create a map that shows which states are leaning toward Ohio State or Oregon, and most of America seems to like the Buckeyes.

The analysts went beyond just likes of each team's official fan pages to gather the context of the mentions to create this map.

The result is a resounding 45 states that prefer Urban Meyer and his Ohio State Buckeyes, while just Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Utah and Marcus Mariota's home state of Hawaii are leaning towards the Ducks.

In a College Football Playoff elimination game, Ohio State proved its superiority with a dominant victory in East Lansing.

Ohio State 31, Minnesota 24 (Nov. 15)

The Buckeyes picked up their second road victory over a ranked team in as many weeks, surviving heavy snow and a 145-yard, three touchdown effort from Golden Gophers running back David Cobb. Despite Barrett setting the Ohio State record for total touchdowns in a season, the Buckeyes needed a late onside kick recovery to seal the win.

Ohio State 42, Indiana 27 (Nov. 22)

Tevin Coleman (228 yards rushing and three touchdowns) and the Hoosiers gave the Buckeyes all they could handle and might have pulled the stunning upset if not for Jalin Marshall. Ohio State's redshirt freshman score four straight second-half touchdowns, including a 54-yard punt return late in the third quarter that gave the Buckeyes the lead for good.

Ohio State 42, Michigan 28 (Nov. 29)

The joy of a closer-than-expected win over their biggest rival was muted by the Buckeyes' sorrow over J.T. Barrett's injury, a fractured ankle that ended his season. After the quarterback went down on the first play of the fourth quarter, Ohio State scored twice to pull away for the victory.

Ohio State 42, Alabama 35 (Jan. 1)

Jones delivered again for the Buckeyes, picking up 286 yards of offense as the Ohio State stunned Alabama to win Sugar Bowl and advance to the national title game. Elliott's fourth-quarter, 85-yard touchdown run and Tyvis Powell's interception on Blake Sims' Hail Mary helped seal the upset.
